Ronald Reagan's dictum regarding nuclear-arms-reduction agreements with Russians is pertinent to Columbia apparel, I have discovered repeatedly over the years. I love Columbia stuff, especially the shirts, many dozens of which I have ordered from STP. Of the two I just received, one has an unsightly crease in the collar which is part and parcel of the garment; it cannot be gotten rid of. Rather than return it, I have decided to keep it for fishing on Sarasota Bay. The other appears perfect in every respect and I shall be happy to wear it anywhere appropriate. So, do not hesitate to try STP's Columbias. But check them carefully. Seams can be sewn crookedly, arm and inseam lengths can vary among otherwise identical items, and so forth. Thus, caveat emptor, and be grateful for STP's generous return policies.
